Summary
Connects Claude, Cursor, and Codex to Dokploy's deployment platform through a three-tool interface that keeps your context window clean. Instead of exposing hundreds of endpoint schemas upfront, it gives you search, execute, and list_profiles, then dynamically routes to 524 generated API procedures underneath. That's a 98% reduction in token overhead compared to the classic one-tool-per-endpoint approach. Handles real workflows like compose deploys, log streaming, domain config, and database management. Ships with both local stdio and hosted HTTP transports in the same package. Supports multi-org setups through named profiles with request-scoped credentials. Fork of Dokploy/mcp, rebuilt around the idea that schema tax shouldn't cost you half your prompt budget before you type a word.
Keep your Mac awake while Claude Code and 40+ AI agents run. Sleeps when they're idle.

@vibetools/dokploy-mcp
MCP server for Dokploy that works cleanly with Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and Claude Desktop.
Three tools up front. Hundreds of Dokploy procedures underneath. Less schema tax, more actual deploys.
Most MCP servers treat your context window like free landfill. This one starts with
search, execute, and list_profiles, then earns the rest.
What that buys you:
- compact default surface instead of hundreds of raw endpoint tools
- generated, broad Dokploy coverage underneath
- real workflows for deploys, compose, logs, domains, databases, and profiles
- local
stdioplus hosted HTTP metadata in the same package

Quick Start
Get your API key from Dokploy Settings > Profile > API/CLI.
If your client uses a JSON-style MCP config, this is the whole block:
{
"mcpServers": {
"dokploy": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@vibetools/dokploy-mcp"],
"env": {
"DOKPLOY_URL": "https://panel.example.com",
"DOKPLOY_API_KEY": "dokp_..."
}
}
}
}
If your client uses CLI-based MCP management:
# Codex
codex mcp add dokploy \
--env DOKPLOY_URL=https://panel.example.com \
--env DOKPLOY_API_KEY=dokp_... \
-- npx @vibetools/dokploy-mcp
# Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport stdio \
-e DOKPLOY_URL=https://panel.example.com \
-e DOKPLOY_API_KEY=dokp_... \
dokploy -- npx @vibetools/dokploy-mcp
Already authenticated with the Dokploy CLI or local
dokploy-mcp config?
You may not need the env block at all.
Using multiple Dokploy organizations?
Keep one compact MCP server and configure profiles with DOKPLOY_PROFILES_JSON:
{
"mcpServers": {
"dokploy": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@vibetools/dokploy-mcp"],
"env": {
"DOKPLOY_PROFILES_JSON": "{\"redivo\":{\"url\":\"https://redivo.example.com\",\"apiKey\":\"dokp_redivo\"},\"personal\":{\"url\":\"https://personal.example.com\",\"apiKey\":\"dokp_personal\"},\"mezon\":{\"url\":\"https://mezon.example.com\",\"apiKey\":\"dokp_mezon\"}}"
}
}
}
}
Use list_profiles to see the available default and named profile targets without exposing API
keys. Pass profile to execute when you want a named profile instead of the default target:
{
"profile": "redivo",
"code": "return await dokploy.project.all()"
}
search also accepts an optional profile argument for profile-name validation while preserving
the same compact catalog behavior.
Hosted HTTP sessions keep their request-scoped remote credentials bound to the session. Named local profiles are not exposed there.
Want the wizard path instead of manual config?
npx @vibetools/dokploy-mcp setup

Credits
Forked from Dokploy/mcp. Started at 67 tools, mass-refactored to 377, then rebuilt the whole thing into an architecture that makes the tool count irrelevant.
Mauricio Siu built Dokploy itself -- the PaaS this server talks to. Without the platform, this is a very elaborate way to POST into the void.
Henrique Andrade wrote the original MCP server. 15 commits, every PR merged. The kind of contributor who closes issues instead of opening them.
Contributors who shaped the original: Joshua Macauley -- lucasleal-developer -- Nour Eddine Hamaidi -- Corey -- Azil0ne
Unmerged PRs are still blueprints. That's how open source works -- stolen inspiration with better commit messages.
